The red Vernatsch grape is also known as Schiava which hails from the Alto-Adige region of northern Italy. The vines are trained in the old Pergola system at altitudes ranging from 400 to 450 meters in elevation. Vernatsch is an addictive, lightly hued red wine that works wonders with appetizers and fish alike. Fermented in stainless steel tanks then transferred to old wood barrels to settle for around 7 months before bottling.

Staff Pick Notes

Do you like lighter-bodies wines like Pinot Noir? Do you like drinking glass after glass of red wine while watching Law & Order SVU marathons on your couch? Do you like exploring different grapes?

This is a great bottle to bring to a party as a fun and interesting gift or when you're just having a friend over. Schiava is normally grown in Germany but it is not so commonly found in the Trentino-Alto Adige area of Italy.

The swath of land was returned to Italy after World War I, and the two regions have been lumped together in the winemaking world ever since.
